The problem CovZorg solves
- Overcrowding at vaccination centers.
- Inadequate means of transport due to lockdown in several regions.
- Limited exposure to the virus by limiting outdoor activity.
- Improper scheduling and unavailability of vaccine doses.
Solutions:
- Launching vaccine vans to reach out to people who are in need of vaccines.
- Building a website for people to access vaccine vans which would be scheduled according to demand.
- Users need to register on the platform using a suitable ID and either book a vaccine dose if a nearby van is available, or request for a vaccine dose. Once registered the user will be notified by our system via emails.
- Vaccine vans will be scheduled as per demand in a given area.
- Users will be notified a day or two prior to the vaccine vans being scheduled in an area to generate a token for availing vaccines from our vans. Tokens will be generated on a first come first serve basis.
- To prevent overcrowding not more than 5 people will be present at the vaccine van at a time.
- f an adequate number of users do not turn up for vaccination on a particular day, the vaccine van may be scheduled at a later date to prevent wastage of vaccines.
Challenges we ran into
- Since the number of users is being limited, we will be able to reach far less than the maximum capacity.
- Managing the Database of the registered users will be a tedious task.
- If used on a large scale we would need proper storage and management of the data.
- We would also have to cooperate with nearby hospitals, to either authorize us to run the MVC vans or manage them themselves
